Are you ever faced with an emergency and don't have time to pray a nine day novena? When Mother Teresa was facing an emergency situation she would pray an 'Emergency Novena' - nine Memorares in petition, then a tenth in thanksgiving. This is also known as an Express, or Flying novena. Like the rosary, you can use your fingers to count the prayers, but it is so much nicer using a chaplet.
Memorare:
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.
St Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.

Thank You Dear Mother for granting me the grace of having my son’s mental health treating team to listen to him and providing him with alternative, more wholistic therapy.
I have a relationship that needs to be seriously blessed and wounds that need to be healed. I also want Jesus to make himself real to my children and always protect and guide them. I need favor at work. I need to be free of fear and to rest in God. I trust that Mother Mary will hear me and answer me.
